Among industry sectors, Construction had both the greatest number (n=545) and the highest rate (52.0 per 100,000 FTE) of compensable claims for amputations. Among industry subsectors, Forestry and Logging had the highest rate (157.6 per 100,000 FTE) more than 4 times greater than the rate for the Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting sector as a whole.
